----------------------------------

During her time with Youlan, Yuan’er not only learned some basic knowledge about Shadow power and some skills but also came to know a lot about Winter Forest. Among these, what interested Yuan’er the most were her new ’family members’ mentioned by Youlan.

Her mother, and those brothers and sisters.

Pierre, the brother with a fiery temper, a bit of a rascal, but extremely protective;

Kalina, the sister who is heroic, serious, and rigorous, but a bit rigid;

Limo, the lively and somewhat naive sister who loves to eat;

Liyu, the sister who is meticulous in everything, but with questionable cooking skills;

Then sister Shuoyue who seems always to be sleeping, but with a bit of a wicked streak;

…

As Youlan told her about her new family members who would eventually live with her day and night, Yuan’er was quite excited. Being a young lady of Marquis family, Yuan’er was generally protected within the Mansion, with few playmates around.

After her father, mother, and sister Xia’er successively left, Yuan’er was left alone in the large courtyard.

Marquis Xiumu frequently monitored the boundary of Wind City, leaving him little free time. Similarly, Grandmother Aurora, despite spending most of her time within the Mansion, was consistently occupied with various administrative tasks and had no spare time to keep me company.

After experiencing the tragic memories of her parents and sister’s departure, in order to strengthen Yuan’er’s protection, the Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded, and outsiders could hardly set foot in it.

Even if children from other families occasionally came to Marquis Mansion, they would not dare to communicate well with Yuan’er due to the huge difference in status.

Over time, Yuan’er’s young heart was filled with loneliness. She wanted companions, companions who could play with her and treat her as an equal. Like those other brothers and sisters. When she learned from Youlan about the existence of these brothers and sisters, Yuan’er couldn’t help but look forward to it.

In her differently colored red and blue eyes, the stars of anticipation shone.

However, what Yuan’er was looking forward to the most was, of course, her mother.

From the beginning, Yuan’er had a full measure of goodwill toward Yumo. After all, it was this black-haired girl who saved her from the brink of death when she was desperate.

From that moment on, Yumo became a ’Goddess’ in her heart.

When she found out that this ’Goddess’ was her new mother, Yuan’er was even more excited.

Yuan’er, who had lost her biological mother at an early age, missed her mother’s embrace, her mother’s care immensely. Although Yumo is not Yuan’er’s biological mother, she is the mother who gave her a new life.

Adding to her existing sense of kinship with Yumo in Wind City, which came from their shared bloodline, all these experiences made Yuan’er more and more excited about meeting her new mother.

Yuan’er was lying in bed,

After calming down, couldn’t help but tirelessly ask Youlan about her mother Yumo,

And to this,

Surprisingly,

After seeing Yuan’er mention Yumo, Youlan didn’t show her usual impatience. Instead, she opened her eyes thoughtfully, looking up at the handover of the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

"You don’t need to worry about anything. She will take care of you, protect you, and give you all the love you want. What you need to do is just be a good child. If you want to eat something, as long as you tell her, she will try her best to satisfy you, of course, as long as it’s not disgusting food or human flesh. If there is something you want to do, as long as it’s not causing trouble in human society, she will basically help you achieve it. If you are bullied, after you go back, just try to shed a few tears, she will help you teach those bullies a lesson. What you need to pay attention to is, don’t hurt children. Remember what she says. If you repeatedly emphasize the same thing, no matter how good her temper is, it will eventually explode. Also..."

In the past, Youlan’s words were always brief. However, when talking about Yumo, the words kept flowing out of her mouth, and her deep blue eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

And the little girl beside her, silently wrapped her arms around Youlan’s snowy white arm, quietly lying in the blanket, listening to Youlan’s words, continually absorbing knowledge about her new mother. And with Youlan’s description, the anticipation in the little girl’s eyes became even more intense.

Even though Youlan said she would only let the little girl sleep beside her for one night, after that night, the little girl came snuggling up to Youlan almost every night. Seeing that her efforts to shoo the girl away were in vain, Youlan reluctantly accepted the fact.

Whenever the little girl and Youlan slept together in the hammock, the young girl couldn’t help but ask about her new mother. And to this, Youlan surprisingly, patiently told the little girl the stories she wanted to hear.

As more and more interesting stories about Yumo entered the little girl’s ears, her anticipation for her new mother grew stronger with each day. She wanted to meet her new mother more and more.

Actually, at the beginning, when the girl lost control of her power, it was Yumo who slapped her back to reality with a feather duster. Because of this, the little girl was still somewhat afraid of the black-haired woman. But this fear was already washed away by the surging emotions of anticipation.

With such a mindset, the little girl finally saw her mother again in the SkyDome City. While her grandparents were observing the movements of the surrounding demons, Yumo came to the little girl’s side, gently stroking the head of this ’runaway’ child. Seeing Yumo again, the little girl’s heart was still quite nervous and uneasy.

When training with Youlan, the little girl had often imagined the scene of meeting Yumo. But...

"What does she think of me?"

Yuan’er really doesn’t know, Although Youlan told her over and over again that Yumo would not dislike her, that she would love her very much, when Yuan’er thought about how she was transformed from a human, and how humans are now the greatest enemies of the abyssal demons, she couldn’t help but get lost in her thoughts. She was a little worried that her new Mom would not like her because of her previous identity...

However, this worry vanished as soon as Yumo’s warm hand touched her head. The warmth in Yumo’s hands, the love in her eyes, and the inexplicable connection from the bloodline, made Yuan’er feel a strong wave of emotion.

After getting Yumo’s permission, Yuan’er didn’t hesitate to hug her waist and bury her head into her embrace.

And when she realized that when she was with her grandparents just now, it was Yumo who had driven away the nearby abyssal demons to let her communicate with them peacefully.

And also it was Yumo who asked the abyssal demons to help block the royal guards who were approaching. These thoughtful actions made Yuan’er feel even more fond of Yumo. Her fondness, which was already at its peak, now completely exploded.

So, after rubbing in Yumo’s embrace, Yuan’er raised her head, with those watery, innocent and expectant eyes, looked at Yumo:

"Can... can I call you Mom?"

In response to Yuan’er’s request, Yumo gave a charming smile, and then affectionately poked Yuan’er’s little face with her hands:

"Of course you can little one."

Fast forward to the present, as she’s still a child with limited expression, Yuan’er could only barely explain why she likes her mom so much to Liyu.

However, she didn’t have the energy to spend time explaining all the detailed content because just as she roughly finished, Yumo ended her communication with Xiao and slowly walked toward her daughters.

Seeing her mom coming, Yuan’er instantly showed a blooming expression, waved her hand, and ran toward Yumo. Then, as expected, she jumped into Yumo’s embrace.

Yumo also generously gave Yuan’er a warm hug. For a while, there was a very warm atmosphere between them.

However, on the other side, after listening to Yuan’er’s narration, Liyu was stunned in place.

She watched Yuan’er’s back with disbelief, her emerald eyes trembling slightly.

Although Yuan’er’s description was a bit inadequate, Liyu still extracted some key information from it.

And one piece of information made this gray-haired girl incredibly startled.

"Just now…. Did Yuan’er say... You... YOULAN?? She Really met that crazy woman?"
